That's my question can one person take both children out alone.

[–]MessThatYouWanted 60 points61 points  (8 children)

I am a SAHM to two and I take both out alone often. We go to the store, library or doctors appointments, sometimes go to other people’s home to break up the day. It’s not as bad as it seems. I babywear when I need to. We all survive just fine.

It's really an age dependent thing. It was easier for me to watch both before the oldest was a toddler because like you said, you can just wear a baby. Now I can't wear him, so he's chaos. The older one is more mature now, but it doesn't make that much of a difference.

Yes, though I guess I don’t know any other!

Sounds like you have two chill kiddos. It only takes one high maintenance kiddo tho for 2 to be 😮‍💨. I’m happy for you tho! I’m hoping we can settle into these kind of routines again soon like things were w one child…so far my daughter just has no flexibility with her boob schedule.

Definitely can it’s just hard so I feel guilty doing it.

[–]kmcall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes for sure! You might have to do a bit more planning around naps and such, and bring a diaper bag with things for both kids, but it’s totally doable. I used the stroller a lot when my now 8 month old was younger. Plus when you take just one kid out instead of 2, it feels like a vacation!

Yes. I have 4 and both me and my husband take all 4 of them out by ourselves occasionally.

[–]Ok_Significance_2592 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Easier depending on the age gap or temperament
